Pimentel: Just follow the SIM registration timetables

Just follow the timetables in the law requiring the registration of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III on Tuesday, April 25, said. "Since extension is allowed, then ok,’’ Pimentel said following a national government announcement that it was extending the registration for 90 days. The deadline as stated in law is April 26. "Take advantage of the extension period to announce thru multi-media of the need for legitimate SIM card users to register. Then after the extension period, that’s it," Pimentel said. "We should assume that those registered at the end of the long process are all those SIM cards which want to be used in a legitimate way," he added. Pimentel, earlier, said there is no need to extend the deadline for registration as the main goal of the law is to find out which SIMS are active and which are not being used for serious or legal or important purposes.
